Why do we give any credibility to the opinions of this pumped up little rat ????

Agree. Just another ex player trying to still be relevant.

    I think there is a legitimate question about the direction footy is going about how successful teams with multiple key targets will be. I don’t think losing hogan would be the end of the world. We’d get a lot in return. But I also don’t think we will lose him.

    I’m not one to sensationalise, but do we honestly think he’s the answer at FF.

    Trade him for two first rounders while he has some currency !

    I don't like to jump on this bandwagon

    But I am

    He can't lead and mark, and he can't kick - pretty fundamental for FF

    Just because he's big and fit doesn't make him a KPF

    Btw Weideman in same boat ATM

    worth a discussion if you think we can cover his goal scoring ability with Weideman and improved mid field kicking.

    So what do we get in his place. Two first round picks ... I like the idea but we all know it's a lottery. We also save a lot of money that allows us to go after Gaff.

    Assuming you go for a trade or an ontrade of the two picks who do you trade for.

    I'm neutral but I would be disappointed if the list committee wasn't doing the SWOT analysis.

    You have to look at where we have trade currency and Hogan is where it's at.

    Geez calm down Overexaduration do we have another Key Forward waiting i don't think so right now Weidemann is not up to it. I personally think he is carrying something but once on the field your expected to perform. I don't know why they didn't rest him last week to be honest. I would moving on JKH. Why they continue to play JKH i have no idea he is not up to hit. If they would have played Kent instead as bad as we played we may have got over the line.

    so would I but no one is going to offer it unless you want to take it over three years.

    BTW I would want two first rounders in the first 8 before I would think about it.

    why.... we need to talk about how we win a premiership so all things should be able to be discussed.

    People on demonland reveal their lack of knowledge about football quite often. 

    They are done through:

    trade hogan

    trade petracca

    play pederson

    to name a few

    To quote Darth Vader "I find your lack of faith disturbing".

    To trade him now is a mistake.  His too-often misses of set shots really makes my blood boil, but not enough to trade him.

    Petracca on the other hand... I might be warming to this idea.

    I agree on discussing what would be helpful, I just don't like the hysterical premise.

    The season's not over, we need positive solutions now, not next year.

    Maybe play Hogan strictly at half forward and in the middle next week?

    Said this a while ago. We have glaring holes, need class, but no one wants to give anything up for quality. We need to be creative. I’d offer Hogan, Kent, Hunt, Garlett for something decent (2-3 players or picks.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
